Modding Help Some modding stuff I need help with

Hello there! I've got a little question that needs answering... Ya' know how the human scouter armor's visor looks, with it showing your character's hair?
If you don't know what I mean look at this:


Well I was wondering... Is there a way to make my own armor show the character's hair under the helmet/hat?

 

Mess around with the mask.png for your mod added hats.

 

What do you mean by "mess around"?

 

Edit in an image editor? Save the image and reload the game/mods with /reload ? Re-edit as need be? I can't tell you how to edit your mask.png to accomplish what you want since I do not know what your hat looks like, but you do so you should mess around with editing it.

 

here is the quick 101,
take the upper right 43x43 space of your head.png, overlay over your mask.png, delete the region covered by the head.png piece, done

 

or just say the item has "mask" : ""

 

That works too

 

Thank you guys, this helped a lot!

Now I have another question... How do I make it so I can dye the modded in clothes?

 

You need to add color options in your file and when you create the recipe do something like
"Item" : "myarmor",
"count" : 1337,
"data" : {
"colorIndex" : index of the color in the color options
}

 

Can you give me an example?

 

.reciepie file

Code:

{
    "input" : [
        { "item" : "ironbar", "count" : 5 }
    ],
    "output" : {
        "item" : "humantier1chest",
        "count" : 1,
        "data" : {
            "colorIndex" : 6
        }
    },
    "groups" : [ "plain", "armors", "all" ]
}

player.config.patch file

Code:

[
{ "op": "add", "path": "/defaultBlueprints/tier1/-", "value" : { "item" : "humantier1chest", "data" : { "colorIndex" : 6 } } }
]

 

It's not doing anything ... Also I'm trying to dye only a specific part of it, the parts I want to dye are all the default human underwear color (red).

 

these things are set in stone once you create your character, you can only change it with something like starcheat or any save modifier

 

What do you mean? I have to make a new character to dye my armor?

 

these are literally part of your character

 

I know, but what I want is to use any dye item to dye my own armor.

 

the only way you can color a piece of armor is by creating a loads of recipe that will take an item and a die and give you the item with the related color index.

 

Um... no? The dyes use a color index system. You just have to put in the proper hexadecimal replacement values...

 

Wait what, so the solution would just be dye the thing in game and make sure to have the right amount of color options in your armor?
